THE WORLD'S GREATEST PATTERN BARGAIN
Will Farm This Year
William Gerlich, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Gerlich, will farm the
home place this summer. The father
was a visitor at Manley and has been
attending the various farm sales In
this vicinity to pick up the needed
stock and farming equipment to han
dle the work on the farm.
Gas Stander at Hospital
August Stander, who has been in
rather poor health for some time
past, was taken to the hospital, where
he was given an exhaustive clinic,
and is now under observation as to
whether it will be required that he
undergo an operation or net. It is
hoped that he will not have to un
dergo that ordeal. He is at the St.
Elizabeth hospital and was visited
by his two sons, John and Andrew,
during the past week, they finding
him resting fairly well.
Many Attend Lincoln Meet
The Farmers Holiday organization
members from over the state who
journeyed to Lincoln to interview
the state legislature regarding the
passage of laws they are especially
interested in, numbered a total of
several thousand, of whom some 35
were from this vicinity. The dele
gation felt that their visit had ac
complished considerable good, and
been instrumental in their being able
to present the true facts of their
plight before the men chosen to leg
islative positions. The farmers are
asking only one thing an opportun
ity to make a living out of their la
bor in tilling the soil and working
long hours. Until they get cost of
production and a small profit, pres
ent conditions will continue, even
growing worse. So it behooves all cf
us to "lend an ear" to the troubles
of the farmer and do all we can to
help alleviate them.

to leave Manley to make their home
elsewhere, probably in or near Chi

ing a session at cards, and afterwards

brought by the guests was spread be
fore the assemblage.
Mr. Hill has recently disposed of
his home to Oscar Dowler, who will
move Into the place in the near fu

wishes of the entire community for

Holds Fears of
Crippling Navy
Thru Economies
Secretary Adams Opposed a Five
Percent Redaction Movement
on Capitol Hill.
Washington. A movement on Cap
itol hill to trim five percent off the
naval and other appropriations for
next year was opposed by Secretary
Adams as certain to "cripple our na
tional dsfense for years" and place
the United States far behind Great
Britain and Japan in the number of
fighting ships. In addition, the sec
retary of the navy said in a letter to
Senator Bingham that certain east
coast navy yards would have to be
closed, ship construction would be
slowed down and 14,650 sailors,
marines and civilians would be add
ed to the list of unemployed.
Adams said tnaz iliirty-three com
batant ships would have to be taken
out of active commission about 63
percent of the number of British and
56 percent of the number of Japanese
ships which are in full commission.
or fully manned." Admiral Pratt,
chief of naval operations, announced
that the Atlantic fleet probably
would be kept on the Pacific coast
until July 1, 1934, "in the interest
of economy." Pratt estimated the
cost of returning the fleet to the
east coast would run approximately
5400,000 more than keeping it in
the Pacific, where it has been since
last March.
Naval officials have been follow
ing closely developments in the far
east. Admiral Pratt told newspaper
men, however, the Sino-Japanese
situation had nothing to do with the
decision. Commenting on the recent
senate action in adopting the pro
posal by Senator Bratton to require
department heads to cut their expen
ditures by 5 percent next year, Pratt
said It would "lay up ships without
a doubt" and that "anything that
interferes with the policy of keeping
the navy in top-notch condition is
dangerous."
In his letter, Adams said the ships
to be taken out of commission would
include three battleships, two air
craft carriers, four heavy cruisers,
two light cruisers, thirteen destroy
ers, six submarine and two light mine
sweepers. Also, Adams indicated mat
the' airship Akron would have to be
taken out of commission. That would
leave the United States with only one
rigid airship the Macon which is
to be launched next month.
The navy supply measure, now be
fore the house appropriations com
mittee, provides 5308,663,562 for the
department during the fiscal year be
ginning next July 1. A 5 percent
cut would trim off more than 1 15,

PUZZLES OMAHANS
Omaha. Many Omahans are try

noted New York rabbi-lecturer, was
sarcastic in an address he gave at
Jewish community center here. In
telling of municipal graft in New
York and other large eastern cities,
Rabbi Wise on several occasions in
terjected "of course, this could not
happen in the pure and flawless at
mosphere of politics in Omaha. I'm
sure you have no idea of what I'm
talking about." Continuing he said:
"I don't know as much about Omaha
as I'd like to, but I probably know
more about your city than you think
I do." Doctor Wise spoke on "Must
a City Government Be Corrupt?" and
flayed the Tammany organization
which he has fought for many years,

Supreme Court
Has Case in Its
Hands to Decide
Fate of Voting Machine for Legis
lators to Be Decided Shortly
by the Court.
The supreme court Wednesday aft
ernoon took under advisement the
case Involving the constitutionality
of legislators voting by electric ma
chine, and a speedy decision is ex
pected. The principal attack on the valid
ity of this method of voting -when
the constitution says it shall be
"viva voce" was that the departure
from the old and recognized consti
tutional methods was so radical that
the fact that the machine has the
same characteristics, that of an open
and unconcealed vote, does not justify
its use, any more than the use of
pencil and paper to cast a ballot
would have complied with the an
cient primitive law that voting should
be by casting of pebbles.
It was argued that in any event
the court has no authority to pass
on the wisdom of expediency or
adopting the more modern method,
when the constitution so clearly ex
presses the Intent of its framers. It
was also contended that the fact that
the use of th.e voting machine saves
time and Is more convenient cannot
override a "const! tutional . provision
for votes by the living voice, the
courts having held that even if any
provisions of a constitution or law
work injustice or hardships, relief
must be addressed to those who
framed it, not to the courts.
The attorney general insisted that
the viva voce provision was never
intended to bind - future generations
to archaic procedure when the same
results were made possible by ad-l
vances and progress in invention. He
said the machine is a real advance
in the art of legislation in that great
er accuracy, economy and expedition
are assured by its use.
